Courtyard Hospitality Travel pays its
employees $16 per hour plus 7.5%
commission on all trips booked. Valerie
worked 20 hours last week and booked
trips amounting to $2,650.
What is Valerie's gross pay for last
week?

Answer 1

$518.75

Explanation:

First, you take 20×16 because she worked 20 hours and earns $16 per hour.

20×16=$320.

Next, we figure how much she earned for her commission. %7.5 as a decimal is .075.

So you take .075×2650, which equals $198.75.

Finally, you take 198.75+320, giving you an answer of $518.75.

Answer 2

320 + 198.75= 518.75

Explanation:

Travel pays its employees $16 per hour

20hours * $16 per hour= $320

plus 7.5% of $2650 = $198.75

$198.75+$320= $518.75
